Hey brother what do I do
I fell off my bike now I’m cut and bruised
It stings like hell and it hurts to move
So hey brother what do I do 

He said bite your tongue now and hold your breath
Close your eyes now and count to ten
‘Cause boys don’t cry
And you won’t too
Only tough guys make it through

So what do I do now when I feel real bad
I hold it in ‘til I get real mad
I start a fight with my closest friends
Broken noses and promises

So brother I wish you spoke the truth
Brother I wish you taught me how to love myself
I wish you knew that boys 
Boys feel sad too

Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too
Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too

Hey brother what do I do
There’s bullies there at my new high school
They took my money and stole my shoes
So hey brother what do I do

He said put your fists up and fight them back
Don’t show weakness when they attack ‘cause
Boys don’t cry
And you won’t too
Only tough guys make it through

So what do I do now when I feel real low
I scream and hurt everyone I know
I started fights with my closest friends
Too far gone now to make amends

So brother I wish you spoke the truth
Brother I wish you taught me how to love myself
I wish you knew that boys 
Boys feel sad too
Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too

Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too

Hey brother how do you do
It’s been a few years since I last saw you
We’re all grown up now but I’m confused
We didn’t turn out the way we wanted to

He said my wife is gone now she took the kids
Couldn’t handle my temper tantrums
But boys don’t cry
And I won’t too
Only tough guys make it through

Brother I’m here to tell the truth
Brother I wish someone had taught us to love ourselves
’Cause I’m sure they knew that boys
Boys feel sad too
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too

Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too

Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too

Boys feel sad
Boys feel sad
Boys
Boys feel sad too
